netistä: This is one of the weirdest albums I have ever had the pleasure of hearing. Movie soundtrack composer/arranger Jimmie Haskell finally smoked enough grass and sampled enough LSD to turn a Tom Gamache story into a concept album so bizarre that it was doomed to sub-cult obscurity...

All in all its a good album. Especially if you're into psychedelic drugs and eclectic music. How Jimmie Haskell and company managed to make such an unintentionally hilarious record is beyond me. Even more questionable is how ABC Records agreed to put this album out thinking it would make a profit.
